MAGA and Zionist, much like the Cuban and Vietnamese diasporas? Here's the pattern.
- Autocratic, but pro-US regime rules the country
- It gets overthrown by Communists or Islamists
- Rich people with connection to the overthrown autocratic regime flee to the US for "freedom" and "democracy"
- They become MAGA
This book was eye-opening. Two things that stand out
- Prime Minister Mosaddegh whom the CIA overthrew admired western democracy. He wanted free elections, women's rights, and free free speech.
- One of the factions that backed the coup was Ayatollah Kashani. He wanted Islamic government, not the secular democracy advocated by Massadaq. Yep. The CIA backed an Islamic fundamentalist group to overthrow a democratically elected leader of Iran.
